What Is Project Central?

Data That Delivers

See what’s happening across your models in real time. Project Central brings model performance, user activity, warnings, sync data, and more into one live, in-Revit dashboard, helping teams identify problems early and act before they become costly setbacks.

Use Cases

Dynamic Dashboards, Detailed Data

There’s a lot of model information in your Revit projects primed to guide your model management. Project Central brings this intelligence front and center.

Projects at a Glance

Get a quick view of elements that may be drifting from your standards or best practices, so you can identify issues early and resolve them before they impact the project.

Users at a Glance

See who is in the model, how long they’ve been there, and how Guardian is supporting their work. Users at a Glance also surfaces Revit, Guardian, and Desktop Connector versions.

Timeline

Track key model performance indicators over time, including file size, open and sync times, warnings, and Revit sessions with filterable dashboards.

Powerful, Versatile Features

STC reminder
See who’s actively working in the model, when they opened it, and how recently they’ve synced. Sync Traffic Control helps teams stay coordinated with live sync activity.
Guardian Message
Send messages, directly through Revit, to end-users, project groups, and, if you’re a company admin, to everyone in the firm using Revit.
project at a glance
Track and access elements that users have introduced into the model, and update those elements to your standards and best practices as needed.
Users at a glance
Benefit from valuable end-user data, including the length of their Revit sessions, how they have used Model Properties, how many commands and warnings they’ve triggered, and more.
timeline
Access detailed dashboards that show file size, project sessions, time to open, time to sync, and warnings.
Users at a glance
See in real time how users are interacting with the model and how Guardian’s proactive protections are supporting their work. Drill into the who, what, when, and where behind model activity to quickly understand where things may have gone off course and what needs attention.

As a smaller office, my time as an architect is split between projects and BIM management. Guardian helps tremendously in taking the sins of bad modeling out of my realm of concern. While also ensuring adherence to company standards with the checking and syncing of cloud-based property settings. This gives us a consistent deliverable across projects and cuts down significant QA/QC time. The ROI is well worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions about Project Central.

Does the model need to be open for me to see this data?
No. Guardian lets you view live project data without opening the Revit model itself. From the Registered Projects dialog, you can launch Project Central for any registered model and get a live view of the model data.
Do end-users have access to all this information?
Only if you want them to. As an admin, you can choose which parts (if any) of Project Central are available to design teams within projects. A popular use case we see is granting users insight into Sync Traffic Control™ so that they always can view who’s in the model, who’s syncing, and so on.
Will capturing all this data slow down our projects?
No. Guardian continuously captures small amounts of activity data in the background, on a separate thread, without interrupting the way your teams work.
Where is the data stored?

Guardian stores project and activity data securely in Microsoft Azure SQL databases.
